BUSBIS 1060 - INTRODUCTION TO INFORMATION SYSTEMS
Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
IT does not matter it’s what you do with IT! Business in the 21st century runs on IT. However, competitive advantage seldom comes from having exclusive or proprietary access to a technology. Rather, IT comes from more effectively utilizing technologies to which everyone - including the competition - has access. The implications of this reality are many. First, it is necessary to understand what technologies are available in the marketplace and their capabilities. Next, and far more challenging, it is necessary to understand how these capabilities may positively (or negatively) interact with business strategy. Business transformation is the alignment of process, people, and technology such that IT can both support and innovate business strategies. Given that technologies evolve and develop at a rapid pace, IT is necessary for managers to understand what technologies can do (both established and new) and how IT can be leveraged to create real value.

BUSBIS 1650 - IS CONSULTANCY PRACTICES SOLUTION DEVELOPMENT
Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
In today’s world, businesses rely on Information Systems (IS) to be the key enabler that supports the business processes and decision making. IS catapults businesses to the next level of growth and sustainable competitive advantage. More and more companies are either implementing brand new IS system with cutting edge business tools and technologies, or implementing newer modules like CRM (Customer Relationship Management) or SCM(Supply Chain Management). When businesses undertake a project to implement a new IS solution, they often lack the internal knowledge, expertise and tools necessary to make it succeed.

BUSBIS 1665 - IMPROVING THE USER EXPERIENCE
Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
While many organizations have outsourced the design of production systems, there is still a need to provide high quality specifications for those systems. In addition, the Internet and e-commerce explosion of the late 1990s has created an even wider need to design corporate websites and apps. Designers and developers should take into account what we know about human factors engineering to improve the user experience (UX). This course focuses on how to gather requirements, achieve a usable first draft, and test and improve that draft. A half-dozen course projects include usability critiques, assessments of users’ difficulties in understanding systems, and designs of forms, screen layouts, and icons. A running major project in four parts provides a usability critique of a website or app, followed by empirical tests of usability, followed by suggestions for improvement, and finally, empirical tests of prototype screens (using an easy tool) that would implement improvements. A final presentation is a summary of all four stages that is intended to convince management to provide funds to make the changes.

This course is designed to give advanced undergraduates as well as early-term graduate students an introduction to this rich and diverse field. Topics will range from fundamentals (particle classification, properties, and flow) to applied (hopper design, mixing, etc. Industry related examples and designs with be presented.

CHE 1933 - ENGINEERING A CRAFT BREWERY
Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
This course will introduce students to the science of brewing and the engineering required to design and operate a craft brewery. Students will apply concepts from mass and energy balances, fluid dynamics and heat transfer, and reaction engineering to study the unit operations required to convert grain, water, yeast, and hops into beer. Students will also develop product analysis and product design skills to justify brewing choices based upon brewing science, engineering, and economic considerations.
